To use the template set, simply place the correct template on your saw and adjust the miter and blade tilt in the direction to match the template.
You can also use the templates when using a miter saw (blade will not tilt). Just place the template upside down with the bottom of the crown molding template propped up against the fence for horizontal turns.
In this example, we are cutting a horizontal outside corner, left-hand piece. For this corner, place the template on your saw and rotate the miter counterclockwise and tilt the blade to the left. Most saws will only tilt to the left, but some of the newer models will tilt in both directions. Just adjust the saw to match the template and you can't go wrong.
